About The Artist…
Mary Kenesson
Asian art, textile patterns and paper
prints often inspire my beadwork and fiber arts, whether I am
making jewelry, purses, or clothing. My artisan name, "ma
su ke" sounds Asian though it is simply the first syllables
of my names, and I chose a dragonfly as my logo.
While traveling in Europe, Asia and
throughout the U.S., the souvenirs I bring home are always beautiful
fabrics, skeins of yarn, ribbons and vintage buttons that later
come together in my studio as unique jewelry and wearable clothing
and accessories. The finished products may represent "finds"
from different countries and cultures, and each has a history
of its own and a memory of mine.
Mary Kenesson creates jewelry and
wearable fiber arts with an Asian flair in the rural colonial
village of Waterford, Virginia. Her work, known by her ”ma su
ke" label with a dragonfly logo, often combines beads and
fibers as well as vintage buttons from her huge collection.
She is a member of the American Craft
Council, the Frederick Hot Glass Society, the Mid-Atlantic Society
of Glass Beadmakers, and the D.C. area Veazey Street Artisans
Group. Her work is sold through the Round Hill Arts Center, the
New Dynasty Glassworks & Gallery, and at Waterford's annual
Homes Tour & Crafts Exhibit and Christmas at the Mill events.
